What To Store Solution in
Resolved

If I make 500ppm solution to use for cleaning the bathroom, but don’t use all of it, would it be better to mix and store the solution in a plastic trigger spray bottle, or an amber glass bottle with plastic trigger sprayer
Does chlorine dioxide degrade plastic over time

Hi there! Apologies for the delayed reply.
You can store a 500 PPM solution in a plastic bottle as there is no degradation of the plastic. You can even store a higher PPM chlorine dioxide solution (2000 to 3000 PPM) in plastic – it will cause some discoloration at these higher concentrations, but it is not degrading the plastic.
An additional tip – I like to keep my 100 PPM spray bottle in the fridge because that both keeps it away from sunlight and improves the shelf-life of lower PPM solutions.

I’ve had good luck with plastic containers for 500ppm solution – I keep a sprayer in the bathroom for quick clean-up, and I keep it out of direct sunlight. My 100ppm kitchen sprayer tends to end up exposed to light and need another tablet more often than I’d like to admit.

An amber glass bottle would make a pretty good choice for 3000ppm solution. I personally got some Pyrex glass bottles from work that were going to be thrown out, thoroughly cleaned them, and use them for 3000ppm solution, Your mileage may vary
